Get matched with top solar panel pros in Lancaster, CA

"Initially, I questioned the utility of solar panels: how much they reduce the cost of electricity, how quick & easy the installation goes, etc. So for years, I passed up every opportunity that arose to get solar panels done. Eventually solar panel systems began popping up everywhere and I knew the benefits were no longer a fantasy. I called a few places and ended up with SunLux who offered the most competitive prices. My sales representative Trang Phung explained a structure that was easy to understand and made me so much more comfortable with the process. Installation was brief and my energy bill has been drastically reduced! If you're on the fence about solar panels - don't be. SunLux will take care of you! -Kim Nguyen"

"Roberto Sanchez Solar System, I interviewed 4 solar panel companies and I chose NRG because Will was able to explain everything well. He answered all my questions to my complete satisfaction. Friendly and honest, Will made the sales process very smooth and personable. Tiffany helped and coordinated the project to make sure everything goes well. She always got back to my emails and phone calls promptly. Installers completed the solar panels when I was at work. Came home and he solar panels were on the roof. Definitely a nice install and quality work was delivered. Lisa helped out with the financing on the HVAC. She was patient and I believe got me a lower amount that before. Solar edge app is great to use and straight forward. Highly recommended company thanks NRG. I am excited to use my new solar system!"

"Fernando is a 100% professional!! He was the only contractor who figured out my electrical draw against my EV charger and made recommendations. The other two contractors did not do anything like Fernando did. They just looked at the job and quoted me twice the price of Fernando. I have more work for him to do around my house later this year."

"I got a solar system from this company and absolutely love it. They installed it in a day and inspected it a few days later. The installers were professional and I appreciated their communication. Highly recommend Vibe Solar."

"We’re so happy we were recommened Honeybee Electirc. Hector upgraded our electrical panel and also installed the connector for an EV charging station. The whole job went really smoothly from start to finish. Everything passed Edison inspection with no problems, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. He was friendly, professional, and just really easy to work with. What we appreciated most was that he didn’t just do the panel upgrade and leave, he also took the time to help organize and clean up our electrical system overall, which was above and beyond what we expected. It’s hard to find someone who does great work and is also kind and personable, but he really checked all the boxes. We’re very happy with the work and would definitely hire him again and recommend him to others."

"He was so helpful on the phone to help diagnose the problem before the technician could come out. They helped me get replacement equipment that was still under warranty. I would definitely recommend them."

"We found McCormick home builders through Angie’s list. They were not one of our original contacts, but they contacted us and came out to give us a quote. Matteo was extremely helpful, informative, honest, and gave us reasonable realistic prices, and did not try to inflate the prices or pressure us in anyway. We felt very comfortable with him immediately. We felt like he was a member of the family that we could just talk to and ask questions he was very personable. He gave us his contact number in case we had other questions and he was always available when we needed him for any type of questions or concerns. Mateo‘s team did a beautiful job. They were fast. They were efficient. They cleaned up beautifully. They did a wonderful job. They were very considerate of our time our needs and our neighbors. They were an absolute pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Matteo from McCormick home builders for any home building projects, and we will be calling him again in the future!"

"I was overall unimpressed with Payless but they did have some redeeming qualities, though it took a bit of work to get there.
When I first called, I was quoted a price over the phone of just under $1000 for the base cost of the until + installation, but was told that I should allow for a couple hundred dollars cushion for all the unforeseen circumstances of my particular home, which I was totally fine with.
The technician arrived on Saturday, Jan 9 and saw my setup.  He noted that he would have to replace the unit itself, the connections as there was corrosion, install an expansion tank so it would be up to code, etc.  When all was said and done, the price was nearly double at over $1800 for a complete install.  I know they work on commission, but I definitely felt like this was a bit of a bait and switch scenario.
This was much more than I expected to pay, especially based off the (under)bid I got on the phone.  However, when you haven't had hot water for a couple of days with small children int house, you don't have the time and convenience to comparison shop, so I opted to move forward since Payless had gotten decent reviews on Angies List.
When the work was done, I examined it and it looked okay and we did have hot water, but I did question the way he set up the connections.  And there was something else that seemed off, but not being a plumber, I couldn't put my finger on it.
The next day I called in a friend who is a plumber to take a look and within a second he saw the issue.  Even though my entire house was copper piping, the tech used galvanized pipe on the install.  
Considering how much money I had spent, I was upset that I got a technician who decides to maximize his profit by installing galvanized piping, knowing that it corrodes over time and really should only be used for gas.  
When I called the company to complain, I spoke with a person who said the manager would call me on Monday.  After not hearing from anyone, I called back myself and was directed to Chris who was less than friendly.  He told me that galvanized was up-to-code and I should have requested brass or copper fittings if that's what I wanted.  I felt like that was an unprofessional answer, as I was not a plumber and was paying for their expertise in this area.  And when I complained about the gap in price from the phone call to install, I was told "Well, you signed the contract.  Maybe next time read it before you sign." which was infuriating and unprofessional to say the least.
He finally agreed to swap out the fittings for me but said the same technician had to come back and do it.  I scheduled my appt for the next Saturday morning.
By that Saturday afternoon, he had still not shown up.  I called throughout the day to get a status and on this last call was told "He hasn't shown up for work today and we can't get a hold of him so we'll have to reschedule."
I had been home ALL DAY waiting for this tech, so I explained that wouldn't be acceptable as I just rearranged my entire Saturday and had I not been persistent in calling,  likely wouldn't have heard from anyone.  They called me back and told me another tech would come by today.
That tech came by and was clearly more experienced and knew what he was doing much more than the first tech.  He was pretty taken back that the other tech had used galvanized and not only swapped out the fittings, but redid the setup to be much cleaner.
So at the end of the day, I got a great heater and correct installation, but it took some time, effort and persistence to get there.  Normally, I would have been much more easy affable about the situation, but the way Chris spoke to me on a couple of occasions really made me feel unvalued as a customer, especially when trying to right a wrong that should have never been the case.
